Patient Testimonials

Testimonials from our awesome patients

Dr. Shmara & staff are SUPER!! I'm a BIG chicken, way scared by former dentists and Dr Shmara has really put me in a comfort zone. Yesterday I was in for the temp for a cap, and I wasn't scared one bit! In the recent past, he's done a root canal for me...no pain, an implant - okay a little discomfort - and a veneer PERFECT. They are gentle, explain what's happening and give me time estimates..oh so necessary for me. I drive from the west LA to come to his dental practice and always leave feeling well cared for and happy to have made the effort.

Dr. Shmara is a true professional. I have a family member who is very afraid and distrustful of dentists - long history of poor quality treatment. Dr. Shmara was very direct in her treatment needs and laid out a plan that worked for us both financially and with our time. He is kind and gentle. He is the kind of dentist that turned a real dental phobic to a life-long loyal patient. He really makes you feel like he is treating you like family. The practice is clean and modern and the staff was very helpful every step of the way. I highly recommend Dr. Shmara! Thank you for helping my family!

Dr. Shmara is friendly, genuine, and honest. Hoping they open an office in LA, closer to where I live. I would absolutely refer all my friends and family to him.

Best Dr. I ever had. His manner is excellent, as are his medical credentials. I trust everything he says or does. He dedicates a lot of time to understand and properly diagnose his patients. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Shmara.

I have been going here for years, obviously for good reason. Dr. Shmara is very straight forward and has got me all caught up on my dental work, which was a lot compared to most people. I couldn't be happier with a Dentist. Dr. Shmara and his staff always make sure I am comfortable and pain free. I highly recommend this dentist, especially for those that don't numb easily like myself. Thank you Dr. Shmara!!
